Why is Biden’s government led by the nose by the former government in China-related affairs？

　　The Biden administration has been in power for one month. It has been observed by the outside world that the statements made by some Biden administration officials on a series of China-related issues, such as economy and trade, the South China Sea and the fight against epidemic diseases, have not erased many marks of "the guy in front", but have shown obvious signs of being led by his nose.

　　Diplomacy is an extension of internal affairs. An in-depth observation of American politics is expected.

　　Due to institutional ills, the supremacy of interests is the unchangeable ruling logic of American politicians, and no matter who comes to power, they will put service votes first. Especially at the moment of high political polarization, Biden’s government has no subjective will to adjust its China policy greatly, and continuing to delay has become its realistic choice.

　　At the beginning of taking office, Biden vowed to take the response to the epidemic and economic recovery as two major priorities, but now, these two tasks are facing enormous challenges. At present, the death toll from the epidemic in the United States has exceeded 500,000, and when it can be controlled is still unknown. Recently, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell publicly stated that the US economic outlook is highly uncertain.

　　What if the task can’t be completed? For American politicians, "tossing the pot" is a familiar means, and China is once again unfortunately the target. It is not difficult to understand: why did Sullivan, assistant to the US President’s national security affairs, "question" the data on the origin of the epidemic provided by China to WHO recently; Why did Biden claim to resist China’s "economic aggression and coercion" at the Munich Security Conference?

　　Considering the practical interests of next year’s mid-term elections, coupled with the constraints of party struggles and anti-China forces, the Biden administration is consciously or unconsciously embarking on the old path of its predecessor’s "dumping the blame".

　　From a deeper perspective, when Blinken was appointed as US Secretary of State, he publicly stated that although he did not agree with the former government’s tactics against China, he agreed with its tough stance on China and said that the two parties should join hands to suppress China. Biden also said in an interview recently that his government is ready for the "extremely fierce competition" between China and the United States.

　　Obviously, in American politics, being tough on China has become a bipartisan consensus. This means that the change of the ruling team is "a change of medicine", and they will all suppress and contain China in order to safeguard American hegemony, and the difference may only lie in the change of means.

　　In the past week, from the video conference of NATO defense ministers, to the video conference of the leaders of the Group of Seven, and then to the special online meeting of the Munich Security Conference, the interaction between the United States and Europe was intensive. Repairing transatlantic relations is on the one hand, and building a small circle with China is also the meaning of the US government.

　　In fact, this means is not much different from the previous government’s practice of provoking confrontation between China and the United States, reflecting that the Biden administration is making similar directional mistakes as its predecessor in its strategic understanding of China. Bonnie Christian, a researcher of the American Defense First organization, recently wrote an article reminding that Biden’s China strategy is too "extreme" risky, reckless and irresponsible, and should not be the goal of the United States.

　　People have noticed that just recently, Chinese officials called on the US to "stop three times" and "give up three times" and put forward three key areas of Sino-US cooperation. This has pointed out the direction for China-US relations to return to the right track. I hope Biden’s government can read sincerity from China’s cross-ocean greetings and make wise choices, instead of repeating the mistakes of its predecessors and going in the wrong direction.

　　It should be noted that the enemy of the United States has never been China, but the "demons" of American politicians.
